Seeing that the topic had reached a dead end, Yang Xile felt that he had given all the advice he could and did not want the two of them to argue about this issue and have an unpleasant argument. So he changed the subject and said to Lin Xiao, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me tell you something funny and embarrassing that happened in my family!"
Lin Xiao also felt relieved and asked with a smile, "What's up? I love hearing gossip."
Yang Xile told Lin Xiao that his second sister had taken all the start-up funds given to her by their father to try and hire a gigolo, and had even signed a fake endorsement contract with him. But before she could pay all the money, her father found out and gave her a good scolding!
"Sis, have you heard of Wei Changfeng? He's been quite popular these past two years."
Lin Xiao's face changed slightly, and he tried his best to answer in a calm tone that he had heard of it.
"That's him, the pretty boy my sister has her eye on! Haha." Yang Xile laughed unrestrainedly. "He even came to our company last time, but unfortunately I didn't see him. But he's got everyone in the company, from young girls to middle-aged women, completely infatuated with him."
This was the first time Lin Xiao had heard someone describe Wei Changfeng, but Yang Xile's tone made her feel very uncomfortable.
She remembered what Wei Changfeng had told her a few days ago about terminating the contract, but she never expected that he had actually signed the contract with Yang Xile's second sister.
"What's he doing at your company? Didn't you terminate your contract?" Lin Xiao asked.
Yang Xile was so engrossed in her own narrative that she didn't notice the problem with Lin Xiao's statement: he hadn't told her about the contract termination, only that his second sister had been scolded because of it. How did Lin Xiao know that?
He then said sarcastically, "After seeing the reactions of those girls, I realized that my second sister might not be the only one bewitched. She spent ten million to sign that contract, and I don't even know if those two actually slept together. If it weren't for my second sister, she would be truly wronged."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao really didn't want to listen anymore, so he said to Yang Xile, "Xile, artists also have legitimate jobs. Male artists are either gigolos or female artists are kept women."
Seeing that Lin Xiao was a little unhappy, Yang Xile thought it was because his words were too vulgar, and hurriedly said, "Sister, was I too rude? Don't mind me. It's because you haven't dealt with these people much. They're not decent people at all. It just depends on whether the price you offer is high enough."
Lin Xiao suppressed her displeasure. This was the first time she had seen Yang Xile so mean. With just one sentence, he had offended an entire group of people, even those in the industry.
She didn't want to hear any more insults directed at the person she loved, but she couldn't lash out at Yang Xile either. After all, she was the one who was going to host the banquet to express her gratitude.
Moreover, at this moment, it was even more inappropriate for Lin Xiao to reveal that her boyfriend was Wei Changfeng. Not only would it embarrass Yang Xile, but she would also become the woman he described as "bewitched" like his second sister.
Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't have a very smooth conversation on either of these topics, which left Yang Xile feeling quite frustrated.
After the meal, Lin Xiao offered to pay the bill, but he refused, saying that everyone who came to the club for dinner was a friend, and there was absolutely no reason for a friend to pay. Besides, this was his own club, and he didn't need to pay extra for his meals.
Seeing that Lin Xiao refused, Yang Xile said, "Consider the big box of local specialties you brought back from Yunnan as a thank you. If you insist on paying, then I won't accept those specialties."
Lin Xiao had no choice but to give up. Yang Xile insisted on taking her home. Lin Xiao saw a brand-new sports car with a Beijing license plate parked at the door. Yang Xile told her with a smile that it was a gift from his father because his homework, a business plan, was quite good and had pleased the old man.
Lin Xiao asked Yang Xile to take her to her current hotel. Yang Xile was secretly delighted, which proved that Lin Xiao had not been living with her boyfriend since arriving in Beijing. Just for this reason, he was happy all the way.
Back at the hotel, Lin Xiao thought about Yang Xile's words from earlier that day and still felt a pang of sadness, heartbroken that the person he loved was spoken of with such disdain by others.
People only know that celebrities are glamorous and earn a lot of money, but she only realized after getting to know Wei Changfeng that this industry also has many unspeakable hardships. Working continuously for more than 20 hours a day, while it may happen in other industries, is probably rare, but it is almost the norm in this industry.
Moreover, no matter how hard you work, you will still be seen as an "actor" by many people, and you will be questioned and misunderstood. Just like when Lin Xiao first met Wei Changfeng, even he misunderstood him, let alone others.
After returning to Beijing, Wei Changfeng immediately began his busy work schedule, attending various commercial events, and the dubbing work for the film's post-production was also put on the agenda.
There was also the workplace drama that had been enthusiastically inviting him to star at the beginning of the year. He had initially chosen Director Xu's film and declined the screenwriter's invitation, but the screenwriter thought the role was perfect for him and had been waiting for his availability.
Wei Changfeng was quite moved when he learned about it, especially after hearing that the screenwriter had seen his previous cameo role as a doctor in a drama and thought the performance was very realistic, which is why he insisted on having him act in his work.
Recognition from the industry is of great significance to actors. After carefully studying the script, Wei Changfeng discussed with Zhao Hui and decided to clear his schedule for the second half of the year to film this movie.
Lin Xiao hadn't gone home since returning to China. She spent a few days in Beijing with Wei Changfeng, and then they went to Yunnan together for a week. Seeing that Wei Changfeng was getting busy, she felt it was time for her to go home and see her father.
Before leaving, she took Wei Changfeng's measurements, including his height, saying she wanted to design a formal suit for him.
Wei Changfeng was overjoyed. How wonderful it would be to attend an event wearing clothes designed and made by his girlfriend! Although he had various business and clothing sponsorships, the sentiment behind Lin Xiao's gesture was entirely different.
